I almost destroyed this gravity body after using it only once.
As I was lost in thought, a beastly roar rang out.
Besides some equipment, the vehicle also carried a beast-like Mark.
Looking at Lin Yuan in front of him, he immediately let out a low growl of impatience.
That's the person who beat me up so badly!
He got himself dissected at the Institute of Ecology!
However, his hands and feet were tightly chained, making it impossible for him to move.
Last night, Charles sent over the beast-shaped Mark, saying it was to express his sincerity.
But Lin Yuan felt that the guy clearly had another meaning behind doing this.
Mo Cheng and the other hunters watched from a distance with a sense of unease, their brows furrowing in fear.
Perhaps it was fear, or perhaps it was not knowing how to face Captain Mark like this.
Chapter 46: A single glance reassures Mark; what's wrong with the world of illusion?
Mark kept roaring at Lin Yuan.
"Quiet down, I only beat you up, it was all for your own good..."
Lin Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth, somewhat speechless.
At most, I punched you a dozen times and kicked you a dozen times, causing you to be sliced up at the Institute of Ecology. Why are you so angry?
Mark struggled more, and the chains rattled loudly as they were pulled.
A somber and melancholic atmosphere filled the preparation room.
Everyone felt a pang of sadness seeing their former captain reduced to this state.
"Damn it, we shouldn't have gone to the surface to get medicine for that old bastard Morgan!"
Xuefeng slammed his fist on the table, then turned his head away with some reluctance. "What's the difference between Mark and the Devouring Beast now? It would be better to just let him die quickly!"
He paused abruptly, turned to look at Ran Bing, and realized he had said the wrong thing.
This unintentional remark was like an invisible knife, piercing Ran Bing's heart.
Large tears rolled down her cheeks, and her voice choked with uncontrollable sobs.
“Mark, it’s me…it’s Ran Bing, look at me…”
"Ran Bing, don't go over there!"
"Don't be impulsive!"
Ran Bing wanted to step forward to comfort him, but was stopped by Mo Cheng and Jeff.
Mark didn't even glance at her; his eyes were only on Lin Yuan the whole time, as if they really had some kind of grudge.
Or rather, it's a longing for something...
Could it be the blood of regeneration?
Lin Yuan frowned, deciding to put these thoughts aside for now and deal with them after arriving at Dragon Bone Village.
We need to let Markmon calm down first.
The ink in his pupils quickly faded, replaced by a blinding scarlet, and three black tomoe suddenly appeared.
Everyone was immediately startled.
Apart from Ran Bing, none of them had seen Lin Yuan's Sharingan before, and they were shocked and somewhat puzzled.
"What happened to Lin Yuan's eyes? Why did they turn out like this?"
"This is too creepy..."
"How could that be... I actually think it looks pretty good."
Erica subconsciously defended her in a low voice.
Although she didn't know what was going on, as long as it was Lin Yuan, it couldn't be anything bad.
"Roar......"
Mark, who had been roaring at Lin Yuan, took a step back in fright, and his expression became somewhat confused the next moment.
He suddenly reverted to his original appearance.
The breathtaking scene before me was unlike anything I had ever seen since I was born.
Petals falling like rain, clear lake water, fragrant meadows...
There was also a white-haired woman dressed in a white wedding gown, with incredibly gentle eyes, and tear stains on her face that were heartbreaking.
“Mark, bear with me for a moment, I’ll take you away from the lighthouse.”
Ran Bing came up and cupped Mark's face in her hands, managing a tired smile.
The love in her eyes was almost tangible, and she paid no attention to Mark's beast-like face.
The Sharingan was indeed useful, but it only treated the symptoms, not the root cause; Mark remained in a state of mental confusion.
But he still needs to be taken to Dragon Bone Village for proper treatment.
Mark can also get a beauty treatment to transform him into the broad-shouldered, slim-waisted Ranbing Happy Beast.
"this......"
Mo Cheng and the others were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and they didn't even notice Ran Bing running up to them.
Lin Yuan actually calmed down the agitated Mark with just one look!
how did you do that?
Mo Cheng's mouth was slightly open, and his expression was somewhat dazed.
I suddenly remembered what happened when Jianjian scanned Lin Yuan's body; a gene mutation had occurred, possibly accompanied by special traits...
"That special trait, could it be this?"
"Isn't that amazing? Want to come and try it too?"
Lin Yuan turned his head, smiled, and winked at them.
This was the first time I had created a positive illusion, and I didn't expect the effect to be so good.
Mark quickly became engrossed in it, which may also be related to his impaired mental state.
Perhaps this will allow others to experience the effect as well.
Mo Cheng Jeff and the others immediately changed their expressions and shook their heads.
This person has clearly been hypnotized.
They don't want to be victims, to have their minds manipulated at will.
"What's wrong with the world of illusion?"
Lin Yuan pursed his lips.
Of course, he was just testing the waters.
If these people in Mo City are truly so engrossed in the illusionary world that they don't want to leave, then it's his turn to be unhappy.
After packing my luggage.
The time for our long journey was fast approaching.
Ran Bing was still a little worried.
He covered Mark with a large gray tarpaulin and prayed silently in his heart over and over again.
The others gradually got used to Mark's beast form and overcame their own mental hurdle.
They all came up and patted Mark on the head.
They looked on with curiosity; the knuckles on their heads were quite amusing.
Lin Yuan gave a helpless twitch of his lips.
If you like it so much, why don't you go to the ground together and keep touching it?
They had previously invited Mo Cheng and the others to leave together, but they ultimately chose to stay.
According to Mo Cheng and his friends, there's an old saying: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket, and don't hang yourself on one tree."
Even if we find human settlements on the ground, we cannot be sure whether they are friend or foe.
Someone must stay at the lighthouse no matter what, otherwise the people on the ground will have no way out.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and then didn't continue to try to persuade him.
Anyway, they are relatively safe during this period.
Even if the Kloto system malfunctions and causes the lighthouse to hover at low altitude, it will take at least another year.
Just come back to pick them up before then.
As we were about to part ways.
Everyone was filled with reluctance.
Erica looked at Lin Yuan, feeling a pang of indescribable bitterness in her heart.
He glanced at his teammates, then at Lin Yuan, and lowered his head, his eyes filled with conflict and struggle.
Mo Cheng suddenly patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder and said solemnly:
"I wish you all the best this time. If there really are special humans like you on the ground, and they have formed a settlement, they might actually have a way to solve Mark's problem."
The others echoed this sentiment, stating that Dr. Carrie had no intention of turning Mark back into a human; she only wanted to use him to study the ecology of Mana.
It would be better to let Lin Yuan go to the ground to find hope.
Xuefeng nodded, his expression serious and earnest: "When it comes to fighting Devouring Beasts, everyone combined is no match for you. But give us some time, and we can figure out a way to handle the Lighthouse matter."
"Remember this: if you can't hold on any longer, come back to me. Even if it costs us our lives, we will bring you back to the lighthouse!"
"If you get bullied, come back here. We'll stand up for you without hesitation!"
That was indeed the case in the previous life's storyline.
Thinking Mark was being held captive at the ecological base, they immediately decided to take over Dragonbone Village.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Perhaps they are good people?"
After all, with Mark by his side, Boss Bai would definitely come looking for him, and running into them shouldn't be too difficult.
"Your idea is too naive!"
Xuefeng frowned and said earnestly:
"Resource scarcity in the apocalypse will inevitably lead to plunder. If there are any settlements on the ground, you will all be suspicious of each other, unsure of each other's intentions, and may even attack each other immediately. You must hide yourself..."
Lin Yuan was stunned.
Xuefeng's long-winded speech made it seem like he was possessed by some kind of Wallfacer.
"Alright, alright!"
Breeding champion Haji chuckled and bumped into Xuefeng, saying, "If Lin Yuan and the others keep listening to your nonsense, it'll be too late."
"Get lost! These are my honest opinions, far more valuable than the little bit of milk you got while doing your breeding missions!"
Xuefeng chuckled and cursed, then looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Anyway, you have to come back alive and bring us good news!"
"Yes, next time we meet, I'll bring Mark, who has regained his senses, to pick you up."
With that, Lin Yuan nodded and walked towards the transport vehicle, preparing to leave.
Am I really leaving like this?
Erica stared blankly at Lin Yuan, her face full of reluctance, as if a piece of her heart was missing.
"What are you still doing standing here?"
